A Novel Nickel Pincer Complex in the Active Site of Lactate Racemase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Put through the pincer: A recent study revealed the structure of the Ni-containing active site of lactate racemase. The Ni is coordinated by a SCS pincer ligand derived from a nicotinic acid mononucleotide.

Nickel pincer model of the active site of lactate racemase involves ligand participation in hydride transfer.
Lactate racemase is the first enzyme known to possess a metal pincer active site. The enzyme interconverts d- and l-lactic acid, which is important for the assembly of cell walls in many microorganisms. Here, we report a synthetic model of the active site of lactate racemase, which features a pyridinium-based SCS pincer ligand framework bound to nickel. The model complex mediates the dehydrogen...
متن کاملLactate racemase is a nickel-dependent enzyme activated by a widespread maturation system
Racemases catalyse the inversion of stereochemistry in biological molecules, giving the organism the ability to use both isomers. Among them, lactate racemase remains unexplored due to its intrinsic instability and lack of molecular characterization. Here we determine the genetic basis of lactate racemization in Lactobacillus plantarum. We show that, unexpectedly, the racemase is a nickel-depen...
متن کاملAutomatic classification of highly related Malate Dehydrogenase and L-Lactate Dehydrogenase based on 3D-pattern of active sites
Accurate protein function prediction is an important subject in bioinformatics, especially wheresequentially and structurally similar proteins have different functions. Malate dehydrogenaseand L-lactate dehydrogenase are two evolutionary related enzymes, which exist in a widevariety of organisms. These enzymes are sequentially and structurally similar and sharecommon active site residues, spati...
متن کاملEnantioselective regulation of lactate racemization by LarR in Lactobacillus plantarum.
Lactobacillus plantarum is a lactic acid bacterium that produces a racemic mixture of l- and d-lactate from sugar fermentation. The interconversion of lactate isomers is performed by a lactate racemase (Lar) that is transcriptionally controlled by the l-/d-lactate ratio and maximally induced in the presence of l-lactate. We previously reported that the Lar activity depends on the expression of ...
